Prof Marianna Fotaki and Prof Kate Kenny's research on 'The Impacts of Whistleblowing' features in NewsSuperfast (India)

The Indian news outlet NewsSuperfast covers Prof Marianna Fotaki and Prof Kate Kenny's research.

The article writes 'Marianna Fotaki, of Warwick Business School, said: “The stigma surrounding mental illness can be used as a weapon intended to defame and neutralise a person who discloses wrongdoing, with the process of whistleblowing only intensifying the likelihood of experiencing such negative health effects... The mental health of litigants can be used by organisations in defending allegations and can result in diverting attention away from the seriousness of the disclosure and discrediting the whistleblower.”

Co-investigator Kate Kenny, of Queen’s University Belfast, added: “As long as we as a society play along and turn a blind eye to the whistleblower’s plight, the organisations, who are in reality the true transgressors, will continue to have their way.”'
